Mm elitlecmeiitiseca crowned Pipirtis4ceremon nticipation and excitement filled the air as homecoming approached. Girls gazed through the windows at the dis- play of mums, and wondered when the long-awaited invitation would come. Chatter rose in the halls as friends discussed what they would wear. Finally the day arrived. People rushed about anxiously awaiting the dismissal bell. Shortly after sixth hour began, the distant strains of the fight song were heard in the halls as the band and cheerleaders ran through the halls gathering students as they went. The parade spilled out into the mall and toward the foot- ball stadium picking up a few genuine grads on the way through the parking lot. The pep rally itself was not unusual as far as pep rallies go. The Talonettes and cheerleaders did their best to out-do previous performances, and in some ways, succeeded. The Fish, though, stole the show when they presented seniors Sherry Woerner and Mel Reese a spe- cial award — a genuine, frozen fish. Mel and Sherry did the expected by stomping it into the ground. Homecoming night, always a heartbreaker for many, was especially sad for some. The announcement of homecoming queen and her crowning, origi- nally planned for half time, had to be conducted on a moment's notice before the game. Cheer- leaders and Talonettes nominees had to scramble to change in time for the ceremony, and some had to appear in uniforms rather than dresses. ; Just crowned. Newly-crowned Home- coming Queen Tamara Shutter smiles brightly with her escort Kenny Green. 22 homecoming
